The two looked at each other for two seconds.
Came the voice of Qiao's mother.
"Why are you still standing at the door? Why don't you let Xiao Rui come in to eat?"
Father Qiao finally realized that this guy was the unkempt brat. He could hardly maintain his aloof attitude. He coughed lightly and said with a serious face, "Come in."
He glanced at Jing Rui's appearance out of the corner of his eye.
I secretly thought that after tidying up, this kid could be compared to me when I was young.
Qiao Qing changed into a new set of clothes. She wore an apricot chiffon long-sleeved top and a ruffled mid-length skirt. At first glance, she looked refreshing and sweet, with a clean temperament like the white clouds in the sky.
She pulled out a chair and sat down. Seeing Jing Rui, she smiled and asked, "Does your head hurt?"
I drank so much yesterday, and I have a terrible hangover.
Jing Rui curled his lips slightly, his cold eyes became more humane, and he said lightly, "It's not as bad as before."
He pulled out the chair opposite Qiao Qing, but when Qiao's father saw his action, he just followed his action and sat down.
"Thank you, young man," he said naturally.
Qiao Qing pouted and said coquettishly, "Dad"
Then he looked at Jing Rui with a hint of apology, "Just find a seat and sit anywhere."
"It's okay, uncle, just sit down."
Jing Rui didn't care. He turned his eyes slightly, and then sat next to Qiao Qing under the burning gaze of Qiao's father.
“I think this location is pretty good.”
Winked at Qiao Qing mischievously.
Qiao Qing pursed her lips and smiled.
Father Qiao looked at the two people in front of him flirting with each other, pursed his lips, but did not say anything to interrupt them.
After the noodles were ready, Qiao's mother fried a few poached eggs for the two of them. After serving them in bowls, she put the poached eggs on top and sprinkled some chopped green onions on them to add a touch of green. It looked good and whetted people's appetites.
"Be careful, it's hot, it just came out of the pot."
He brought the bowl in front of them.
Father Qiao glanced at the noodles in front of him, then looked at Mother Qiao who didn't move at all, and couldn't help but ask, "Where's mine?"
Mother Qiao glared at him unhappily and said, "You don't have hands, serve it yourself."
As he spoke, he took out the side dishes he had brought with him.
"Qiao Qiao, try it. You will love it when you go home. This time, mom brought some for you."
It is called a side dish, but it is actually pickled vegetables.
"Mom also made beef chili sauce. I was worried that you like spicy food and wouldn't be able to eat outside. This goes well with rice."
He opened a can and placed it in front of Qiao Qing, the aroma was overwhelming.
"Wow, I'm so surprised, thanks mom."
There was a smile on Qiao Qing's face, his eyes were curved with laughter, and there was a twinkle in his pupils, sparkling with light.
There was Qiao Qing's smile in his eyes, and Jing Rui was infected and couldn't help feeling a little cheerful.
He picked up the chopsticks and said calmly, "I'll try it too."
"Xiao Rui, try it. If you like it, I'll make you a few jars next time. This won't go bad easily if you put it in the refrigerator."
Mother Qiao's smile was very warm and her tone was very gentle, which showed her love for Jing Rui.
Apart from what happened in the morning, which caught her off guard, this guy was nice in every way.
Especially when he is dressed like this, in a suit and tie, he has a strong aura. If you don't know him, you might think he is an executive of some company.
"good."
Jing Rui smiled lightly, feeling a faint warmth in his heart, which spread throughout his entire heart.
He was not lacking in love, but he felt that ordinary people's happiness and smiles were so simple that just a breakfast could make him feel happy.
Seeing how nice Qiao's mother was to Jing Rui, Qiao's father felt a little jealous. He reluctantly served the noodles and sat down.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the two people in front of him, pretending to be indifferent and said, "Hurry up and eat. Don't you have to go to work? You should leave quickly after eating."
So as to avoid being an eyesore.
Mother Qiao patted Father Qiao's arm and said, "Why is there so much trouble over a meal?"
Then he gently said to Jing Rui, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
The attitude is very hypocritical. Mr. Qiao feels wronged, but he dares not say it.
He just lowered his head and ate noodles in silence.
Qiao Qing and Jing Rui were indeed in a hurry.
They quickly finished the noodles, packed up their things, and went out together.
"Your parents have a really good relationship."
Jing Rui thought about the relationship between Qiao's father and mother, and sighed lightly.
There is no love between his parents, it is just a business marriage, and you can't see such a scene at all.
Qiao Qing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "My dad has always been afraid of my mom. How can you say that our relationship is good?"
Jing Rui chuckled, "Isn't it a sign of love for a man to be afraid of his wife?"
His eyes looked at Qiao Qing, but with a special meaning in them.
Qiao Qing didn't know why, but she felt that the gaze was somewhat hot. Thinking of the way the man in front of her expressed his love like a child last night, her emotions surged in her heart, and her face felt slightly hot.
He quickly turned his gaze away.
"Let's hurry up, or we'll be late."
"What are you afraid of? I won't deduct your salary."
"I'm afraid of breaking your rule of not being late."
"Rules are meant to be broken, but it depends on who you break them for, Qiao Qiao, what do you think?"
When Qiao Qing arrived at the company, she still couldn't understand why Jing Rui was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and his words were becoming more and more explicit.
She reached out and touched her face, slowing down her rapid breathing.
The news spread almost everywhere in the company yesterday. In the evening, three extremely handsome and outstanding men were vying for Qiao Qing at the entrance of Lihua Group.
However, after a night of fermentation, yesterday's incident has been rumored to be a fight between the president and Qiao Qing's two mysterious suitors for Qiao Qing.
Therefore, from the moment Qiao Qing stepped into the company, all strange eyes were focused on her.
When we got to the elevator, there were quite a lot of people there at this time of year.
but
She looked back and wondered why the people next to her were two steps away from her.
Is she that scary?
She turned around with some surprise, the elevator door opened, and she went straight in.
However, she was the only one in the elevator, and there was a group of people outside the door, all looking at her, which made her scalp tingle.
Qiao Qing asked tentatively, "Aren't you going to take the elevator?"
"No, no, I'll wait for the next one."
"Just go up there and don't worry about us."
"Yes, yes, I want to wait for the next trip too."
Qiao Qing glanced at these people.
Even the next trip won't be able to accommodate so many people.
But it doesn’t matter if there is no one around, she is still happy and at ease.
The moment the elevator door closed, he gave a friendly smile to the people outside the elevator.
The people outside smiled cautiously, and the moment the door closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao Qing's identity is different now. She might be the future president's wife. If they offend her, will they still want to work in Lihua?
Qiao Qing was completely unaware of these thoughts. Even if he knew, he would probably just smile.
She is so stingy
Qiao Qing had just sat down when, as expected, Bai He's gossipy face appeared in front of her.
Bai He's watery eyes were filled with curiosity as she spoke coquettishly.
"Jojo"
Qiao Qing almost got goosebumps. "If you have something to say, just say it."
Bai He immediately put away his cheesy expression and asked curiously, "Are you and the president really in love?"
Qiao Qing shook his head and told the truth, "No, he and I are just ordinary friends."
She remembered Jing Rui's confession.
But those were words he said when he was drunk, and I don't know if he remembers them.
Bai He got the answer and smiled like an auntie, "I understand, I understand. Double negation is affirmation."
I learned this from watching TV shows.
Qiao Qing was helpless.
Now I guess no one believes that there is such a simple relationship between the two of them.
The light in his eyes slowly moved, he chuckled, and started his work.
However, she didn't think about being simple
Jing Rui arrived at the office, put his hands together on the desk, and a trace of contemplation appeared on his usually indifferent face.
Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Secretary Li outside the door. Not knowing what he was thinking of, he picked up the microphone on the table and asked Secretary Li to come in.
"Boss, do you have anything to ask of me?"
This sentence has almost become Secretary Li's catchphrase when he sees Jing Rui.
Jing Rui glanced at Secretary Li calmly, thought for two seconds, and slowly said, "Secretary Li, have you ever been in love?"
Secretary Li didn't think much about it and said, "Of course I have been dating my current girlfriend for five years."
Although he didn't reveal any thoughts on his face, Secretary Li was actually very upset.
"Why is the president asking this? Is it because he is in a relationship?"
"Could it be that the president was drunk yesterday and something big happened that he didn't know about?"
"Or maybe the president was provoked by the other people and confessed to Qiao Qing in a fit of rage."
Jing Rui responded lightly, "Yeah."
He glanced at the potted plants on the table, and then continued to ask, "Have you met your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"Of course, we've started talking about marriage, so we have to meet each other's parents."
Secretary Li looked as if it was a matter of course.
Talking about marriage
"Meeting your parents means getting married, right?"
Secretary Li was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly, "That should be the case. If you are not getting married, why would you meet your parents?"
Jing Rui's brows relaxed, so this is what it looks like.
After learning some inexplicable knowledge, he asked the specific question he wanted to ask, "If you offend your father-in-law, how do you please him?"
"Offending my father-in-law? That's easy. But wait, something's not right."
Secretary Li reacted suddenly, touched his chin, and stared at Jing Rui with suspicion.
“Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?”
Jing Rui used his old tricks. He looked calm and said in a calm tone, "I have a friend who is in love. He offended his father-in-law and asked me for some advice."
Secretary Li suddenly realized, "Is that so?"
It's just that when did the president have friends?
Apart from Mr. Zhang Runyan, it seems that the president doesn’t know anyone else.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Just tell me what to do."
Jing Rui felt guilty for a second, but quickly recovered. He glanced coldly at Secretary Li, which immediately dispelled a lot of thoughts in Secretary Li's mind.
Secretary Li told Jing Rui all his experiences and gains.
In the evening, after get off work, Jing Rui waited at the door for Qiao Qing to go home together.
In the car, he asked inconspicuously, "Qiao Qiao, what does your father like?"
Qiao Qing turned to look at Jing Rui, and suddenly smiled, with the corners of his eyes raised, and teased, "You are not trying to please my dad, are you?"
Jing Rui's eyebrows twitched when his thoughts were guessed, and his eyes became a little vague.
His thin lips were pursed tightly, "It's not really a flattery, I saw your dad was quite angry today, so I wanted to make him happy."
"Um"
Qiao Qing thought about it seriously, and a thoughtful look appeared on his fair and tender face. "My dad likes to drink a lot. If you can drink a couple of glasses with him, I think he will feel better immediately."
However, Qiao's mother never allowed Qiao's father to drink too much.
Turning to look at Jing Rui, he joked, "But my dad likes to drink white wine, can you resist it?"
Thinking about how drunk Jing Rui was yesterday, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a little.
Jing Rui said calmly, "I should be able to handle it."
You have to resist even if you can't bear it.
He can drink a fair amount of alcohol, but he has never tried white wine.
Qiao Qing smiled but said nothing. She turned her head to look at the road in front of her. It didn't feel like the way home.
"Why don't we just go back?"
"Um."
Jing Rui responded softly, "I have something to do, I'll be back later."
When they arrived at the destination, Jing Rui parked the car and took Qiao Qing into a jewelry store.
“Are you buying jewelry?”
Qiao Qing looked at the jewelry in the surrounding counters. They all looked very expensive and it was obvious that she could not afford them with her current status.
There was a hint of joy between her eyebrows, "I can give you some reference."
Jing Rui curled his lips slightly, "You'll know in a moment."
Take Qiao Qing straight to the diamond ring counter.
"Qiao Qiao, take a look, which one do you like?"
Qiao Qing's jade-like face was full of surprise, so much so that her eyes were wide open like a rabbit's eyes, and she looked very cute.
“You’re going to buy it for me?”
It took him a long time to find his voice again, which shows how much he couldn't believe it.
"yes."
Jing Rui glanced at the rings on the counter, but couldn't tell which one was special.
"We are meeting our parents today, so we must put marriage on the agenda. We don't have time to prepare now, so let's buy a diamond ring first to reassure our parents."
I changed my words very naturally and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
The salesperson next to him smiled politely.
Qiao Qing always felt that something was wrong.
But because of the presence of strangers, her soft little hand pulled Jing Rui's sleeve and whispered, "No, it seems like we are not together, we haven't even talked about love, how come it has come to the point of getting married?"
"So you're not going to marry me?"
Jing Rui looked like she was a scumbag, "But you promised to be my girlfriend last night."
The indifferent voice sounded a little aggrieved for no reason.
Qiao Qing's pupils shrank slightly, she was shocked, then turned angry, her angry eyes were unusually bright, she asked, "So you did it on purpose last night?"
It can't be said that I did it on purpose. Some of the words were said while I was drunk.
Jing Rui touched his nose a little guiltily and coughed lightly to cover up his abnormality.
He pretended to be calm and said, "I was indeed drunk yesterday, but I still have some impression of what was said."
It was more than just a vague impression. After he went back, all those shameful scenes of acting coquettishly, cutely and pitifully came to his mind.
At that moment, if there was a crack in the ground, he wanted to crawl into it.
Qiao Qing crossed his arms and asked, "Why didn't you mention it before?"
It made her think about it for a long time.
Jing Rui held Qiao Qing's hand and said, "Isn't this a surprise for you?"
He didn't even dare to face himself like that, so how could he mention it.
Qiao Qing snorted, "It's more like a shock."
What happened today was indeed a bit up and down.
"Let's choose the rings first, and then buy some gifts for uncle and aunt later."
Jing Rui thought for a while, "This is my first time meeting your parents, I have to leave a good impression on them, otherwise what will happen if such a good wife of mine runs away."
Even though this morning was a bit chaotic, it didn't affect his desire to express his feelings.
Qiao Qing was not a hypocritical person, and she joked with a smile, "You are getting better and better at saying nice things now."
I still remember Jing Rui before, he was quite sharp-tongued.
Jing Rui smiled but did not refute.
If you care about someone, you will think twice before you speak.
The salesperson had already discussed it with the two handsome men and beautiful women before meeting them. His eyes lit up and he quickly recommended it.
Finally, the two chose a pair of rings.
Then she chose a pair of jade bracelets for Qiao's mother and a string of jade beads for Qiao's father.
It looks like a couple's piece.
Jing Rui took the ring and said softly, "Come, I'll put it on you."
Qiao Qing retracted her hand, and said proudly, "You wishful thinking, you haven't even proposed to me yet, and you're already thinking of trapping me."
Upon hearing this, Jing Rui knelt on one knee with a warm smile in his eyes, as dazzling as the sun in early March.
"Qiao Qiao, will you marry me?"
Passersby saw this scene and cast curious glances at them.
It’s really because Qiao Qing and Jing Rui are too good-looking, it feels a bit like they are in an idol drama.
Qiao Qing's face was slightly red. She bit her lips gently, and her pink lips added a hint of redness, forming a sharp contrast with her white teeth.
She said shyly, "Hurry up, there are so many people watching us."
Jing Rui didn't care at all. He stared into Qiao Qing's eyes with his dark eyes, very frankly.
"Let them watch. I'm proposing to my wife. They probably envy me for having such a beautiful wife."
"Why are you so shameless?"
Qiao Qing didn't understand.
Jing Rui quickly replied, "For something like a marriage proposal, you definitely need to be thick-skinned."
Qiao Qing chuckled, but did not embarrass Jing Rui. She stretched out her fair and slender hand and tried to suppress her smile. "I'll only give you ten seconds, so cherish your time."
When Jing Rui heard this, he quickly put the ring on. It was his first time doing such a thing, so he was not very skilled. Fortunately, the ring fit well and it didn't take much effort.
He stood up, opened his arms and hugged Qiao Qing's waist with a bright smile.
Feeling the warmth of Jingrui's chest, she found a comfortable position, leaned her head slightly, and listened to the "thump, thump, thump" of his heartbeat.
A somewhat overbearing voice came from above my head.
"Qiao Qiao, you will be mine from now on."
Qiao Qing refused, pouting her pink lips and retorting, "I belong to myself."
Jing Rui frowned slightly, then relaxed and chuckled.
"Okay, from now on, I'm yours, and you have to protect me well."
A slightly magnetic voice came into my ears, giving me a tingling sensation.
Qiao Qing suppressed the throbbing in her heart, raised her glowing white face, and looked at Jing Rui with curved eyes.
"I will protect you, little Ruizi."
She winked at Jing Rui mischievously, "I recorded the video yesterday, and you listened to me no matter what I said. You can't deny it."
Jing Rui also remembered this incident.
But seeing the other person smiling like a fox, she hesitated and her eyelashes trembled a few times.
He responded slowly, "Yeah."
Qiao Qing was amused, "Lower your head."
Jing Rui's height is quite different from Qiao Qing's.
After hearing this, although he felt that Qiao Qing was up to something, he still did it.
"Qiao Qiao, what are you doing?"
Qiao Qing ignored her. She stretched out her tender white hand and pinched Jing Rui's cheek.
"Xiao Ruizi, be good." Then he touched his head.
Jing Rui blinked his eyes, and it felt as if he saw a large canine animal.
Qiao Qing held back her smile, her eyes sparkled as if they were gleaming with light, her fair face couldn't hide her happiness.
Jing Rui suddenly stood up straight, his figure became taller, as straight as a jade tree.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched out his big hand and gently pinched Qiao Qing's cheek, and said seriously, "Well, it feels pretty good."
Qiao Qing suddenly laughed, and laughed heartily.
This is still a guy who doesn't suffer any loss.
She stretched out her slender arms and hugged Jingrui's thin waist, and said with a bright smile, "Jingrui, lower your head."
Jing Rui couldn't bear to glance at Qiao Qing's nature, and also wanted to see what tricks the other party was trying to play, so he slowly lowered his head.
Qiao Qing said again, "Close your eyes."
Jing Rui warned, "Qiao Qiao, don't go too far. I won't tolerate you if you do this."
But he still closed his eyes after listening to Qiao Qing's words.
The smile on Qiao Qing's lips never disappeared.
"Don't worry, I won't be too harsh on you."
She slightly loosened her hands that were around Jing Rui's waist, then put her arms around Jing Rui's neck, took off her high heels, and put her toes on Jing Rui's leather shoes.
Without waiting for Jing Rui to feel the pain, Qiao Qing stood on tiptoes and gently kissed Jing Rui's thin lips.
On a whim, she wanted to experience the big height difference and the feeling of standing on the other person's leather shoes and kissing.
Jing Rui opened his eyes unexpectedly, and saw Qiao Qing's enlarged but flawless face in front of him. He was stunned for just two seconds, then stretched out his big hands and hugged Qiao Qing's slender waist, reducing the weight. He pressed Qiao Qing's head with one hand and gradually deepened this unexpected kiss.
Some people around saw this scene, but they felt it was normal. They just secretly sighed that it was more ostentatious to have a relationship when you were young.
Until both of them were having trouble breathing.
Then she ended the kiss with a blushing face.
Qiao Qing touched his face which was a little hot. Now he could steam eggs on it.
Biting her red lips, she explained, "I just simply wanted to kiss you."
I didn't even think about deepening it.
Then, as if she remembered something, she asked with suspicion, "How come you are so experienced?", without waiting for Jing Rui to answer.
